1. One Word

2. So, what is this?
There are many smart people who believe that we are what we think about, or what we consciously turn our attention towards.
This is similar to an athlete getting “pumped” for a game, narrowing her attention to the smallest detail of the game and blocking everything else out.
It could be when you are doing something you love, and you are so in the moment that you feel like you are in a “zone.”
We are going to begin our year with each of you choosing one word that you will consciously turn your attention towards.

3. Examples

4. Focus

5. FIT

6. balance

7. PUNCTUAL
“I’m ALWAYS late…
...not this year!”

8. BRAVE
I’m so, so shy.

9. COMMITTED
I want to be better.

10. FREE
I worry about everything. I want to be free.

11. Your task...
Each of you will choose one word to FOCUS on this year. Create a small “poster” of your word on a half sheet of construction paper to help keep you motivated! You will also write one paragraph on the back, telling my why you chose the word you did and what it means to you.
